Paddle Plant | Kalanchoe Tetraphylla | Flapjacks

Kalanchoe Tetraphylla, also known as “Paddle Plant” or “Flapjacks,” is a striking succulent with flat, paddle-shaped leaves that form a rosette shape. The leaves have a powdery coating, giving them a silvery-blue hue that contrasts beautifully with the reddish margins. This unique plant adds a touch of modern elegance to any succulent collection or desert-themed garden.

Plant Care Needs

• ☀: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. Kalanchoe Tetraphylla prefers at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day but can tolerate partial shade.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, approximately every 10-14 days, depending on environmental conditions.

• 🪨: Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend Tits & Grit Cacti & Succulent Mix!

• 🌡️: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• ☁: Adapted to low humidity environments. Does not require additional misting.

• ✂: Propagate from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus before planting in moist, well-draining soil.

• ⚖: Low maintenance. Suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike.

• 💭:

• Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent stretching.
• Prune dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and health.
